The city of Burlington is looking for volunteers to help clean up a local creek.

Residents in the Morgantown area and volunteers will hold a one-day community cleanup of Service Creek and the surrounding area on October 27. The event is organized by the city’s Water Resources Department, in collaboration with the Morgantown Baptist Church and the Elon University chapter of Lamda Chi Alpha “to promote the protection of water quality, riparian ecosystems, and recreational uses within the Burlington community,” according to a press release.

Volunteers will meet for the cleanup at 9:30 a.m. in the Morgantown Baptist Church parking lot at 1703 Morgantown Road.

Anyone who would like to participate as a volunteer, sponsor, or by any other method of support can contact the city of Burlington at ebrodnick@ci.burlington.nc.us or by calling 336-222-5140.
